Plasminogen Activity Test

The Plasminogen Activity Test measures the function of plasminogen, a key protein involved in breaking down blood clots and maintaining healthy circulation. Low activity may indicate risk for abnormal clotting or thrombotic conditions, while elevated activity may suggest bleeding disorders. This test supports evaluation of fibrinolysis, helping to assess clot formation, cardiovascular health, and related hemostatic balance.
